Really? I would suggest numbers don't agree with you. The aircraft is probably a little too expensive for many countries (I personally think it's going to be mostly ok if extraordinarily expensive for basic training).

Here's a quote from Flight Global (I'll save you the Maths - that's a grand total of 36 as a military trainer):

Since the programme started, the airframer has delivered a little over 1,220 examples of the helicopter to 350 customers in 75 countries.

Half of the operational fleet is engaged in emergency medical services (EMS) operations, 17% in business and commercial transport, 16% in public services (typically law enforcement), 10% in military missions, 4% in offshore operations (typically wind farm inspections), and the remaining 3% in military training.
